Hi. So, 16 mosquito bites later and I'm sitting at Hotel Patrick in JuanGriego, Venezuela. The hotel here is owned by a Dutchman and his family and we are surrounded by blonde hair and blue eyes, a discoteque booming behind me. Oddly European. Started my trip in Caracas which was a culture shock. If you can imagine New York City with 5 times the intesity, no traffic rules, and people everywhere... it was quite the experience. After handling only about a day, Ivan and I traveled to the coast with 50 lb packs and baring the hot hot heat. Note to self, travel light next time. 5 hours on a freezing bus, 5 hours on a giganic ferry boat and here I am on Margarita Island...
